“It’s so much fun. It’s fun for the kids, it’s fun for the teachers. It’s just a great learning experience about theater,” Seifert said. “I’m so glad we’re doing three sessions. I think the kids love to perform.”
Campers will perform adaptations from a variety of stories, a dance number from a Broadway show, and a song from a separate Broadway show. The camp will cover theater essentials including improvisation, readers theater, theater games, and musical theater. Students will be performing a musical number with choreography.
“Students will learn about theater and collaborating with others all while having fun,” Seifert said. The camp also promotes self-confidence and a love for theater. “There’s nothing like live theater. I hope we instill a love for performance and get kids hooked on theater!”
